Man Utd v Arsenal

Didn't watch the whole game so now clue about the overall performance but I thought a potential penalty missed late on...


05:40 above for UK viewers.

As the ball lands at Cunha's feet I feel Saliba goes through the back of him - no contact with the ball, trips Cunha backwards - textbook careless for me. Is my threshold too low?

Fwiw I DON'T think VAR should recommend a review here

Look like a penalty.

i called pen live, i've seen nothing to change my mind

I certainly think there's an argument for a penalty, but it doesn't scream howler that it wasn't given. Gary Neville said no penalty, and while I know he's far from a refereeing expert, if it's in favour of Man Utd and he doesn't think it's a penalty, it sort of says something.

I was a bit torn on it. Yes, there is a bit of contact, but Simon Hooper had been consistently letting contact like that go all game wherever it was on the pitch.

Certainly not enough for a VAR recommendation, just as it wouldn't have been had it been given as a penalty by the referee.
